Veterans Day is all about showing appreciation for the men and women who’ve served in our military, standing up to protect our freedoms and keep us safe. It’s a chance to say “thank you” to those who’ve put their lives on the line, often sacrificing time with their families, facing tough conditions, and carrying the weight of responsibility for our country’s safety. Whether they served in times of peace or war, every veteran has played a part in protecting what we value most. Honoring them on this day reminds us to never take their sacrifices for granted and to keep their dedication in our hearts.
It is estimated that we have 100,000 WWII veterans still living. Their median age is 98. They are often called "The Greatest Generation." The Greatest Generation" was popularized by former NBC Nightly News anchor and author Tom Brokaw in his book by the same name. The term was meant as a tribute to the resilience and patriotic spirit of those who lived through the Great Depression and then fought in World War II.
I want to express my sincere thanks to all the veterans who have served our country. I believe that service is one of the most honorable efforts that a person can take on. Thank You!
The Veterans Day pattern is two layers of 1/4" thick wood with a diameter of 8".
Sometimes a little sarcasm goes a long way. "If at first you do not succeed try doing what I told you to do the first time." This pattern is 10.25" wide and has two layers. The pattern calls for the front layers to be 1/2" thick and the back layer to be 1/4" thick. This is only a recommendation. Use what you have available.
